The energy transition urgently requires qualifications and skilled workers. At the same time, many young people with refugee and migrant backgrounds have very few chances on the training and labour market. The Viennese project Eco Booster is aimed at this very target group. Via course and company placements, the project imparts basic competencies to prepare young people for a final apprenticeship examination. This article describes the background of the project, its objective, and initial implementation experiences.
